Wendy Williams Explains Viral Walmart Photo But Folks Want Her To Address Husband’s Alleged Affair: ‘Tell the Truth’

Wendy Williams returned from her week-long break of taping “The Wendy Williams Show” on Monday and addressed the talk surrounding a wide-eyed photo she was seen in last week.

But instead, viewers wanted the 54-year-old to answer questions about the alleged affair her husband Kevin Hunter is having with a woman named Sharina Hudson. They also want her to talk about the rumored baby Hunter had with Hudson since she reportedly delivered last month.

On her talk show, Williams explained that she went camping during the hiatus with some of the people from her sober house.

Last month, the New Jersey native admitted that she’s been living in a sober facility for addiction, and she’s made a real connection with some of the other residents. Williams also said the camping trip was in a remote part of Upstate New York and someone took that photo of her while she shopped at a local Walmart with others.

That photo happened to go viral last week, and many on social media said the former radio host looked frail and disheveled. Plus, a lot of folks questioned why Williams was wearing a robe, which she addressed.

“One of the best things about being truthful to yourself and truthful to you and having your own show is I can come and dispel my own rumors,” said Williams.

She then talked about the photo.

“You know I have the Graves’ disease, where there is pressure by my eyes,” Williams explained. “Sometimes my eyes [pop out]. So they are like ‘She was wearing a robe.’ Underneath I had on leggings, it was four in the morning in Ellen, New York. What you want me to wear a ball gown? … Do I look frail to you?”

But once the episode aired and it made the Internet rounds, people honed in on Williams saying she dispels her own rumors on the show.

“GIRL what about you marriage and cheating husband rumors,” someone asked on YouTube.

“She is just rambling a whole bunch of nothing. Address the rumors or lose all your credibility,” another person commented.

One person said she used to stick up for the mother-of-one but can’t after this last episode.

“I use to love and defend wendy but this sis AINT IT! TELL THE TRUTH im sick of her 🙅😷😷,” that person wrote.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
